People who live in the cores of cities lose access to sunlight as new tall buildings shade street level. A study in China shows that the mean duration of winter sunlight decreased from 5.37 hours to 3.75 hours in 77 cities between 1990 and 2020. In PNAS: ow.ly/7WxS50ZV4Of

Evolution by natural selection can be complex yet predictable
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 28 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00200-xEvolution by natural selection is a well-evidenced and well-understood process, but predicting the course that it will take in the future is less clear. In this Perspective, Nosil and Gompert argue that considering the complex interactive effects of selection pressures can strengthen predictive frameworks and inform on evolutionary dynamics.

No curso de Programação em R, traduzi as lições Olhando os Dados, lapply e sapply, vapply e tapply. Também corrigi o caminho dos dados que impedia três lições de abrir depois de instaladas.

Aproveitei para acrescentar notas pensando nos meus alunos de pós: leverage não é o mesmo que influência, overdispersion em modelos de Poisson, os limites do teste de Shapiro-Wilk e o que o confint() faz num GLM.

Diogo B Proietti @provete.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Não foi só traduzir. Conferi no R cada número citado nas lições e corrigi alguns errinhos do original. Por exemplo, o texto indicava as somas de quadrados erradas no cálculo do F da ANOVA, e uma lição citava médias de 2013 para dados que só iam até 2012.

O swirl transforma o console do R numa sala de aula: você lê, digita o código e recebe retorno na hora. O curso vai da regressão linear simples aos GLMs binomial e de Poisson, passando por regressão múltipla, diagnóstico de resíduos, VIF e ANOVA.

Transcrição de documento oficial sem título visível que diz: "Além disso, ao cumprir parcialmente a decisão de Vossa Excelência, o Ministro André Mendonça, diretamente interessado no julgamento de ambas as PETs 16.704 e 16.662, selecionou subjetivamente o levantamento do sigilo, tornando público somente o que entendeu conveniente. Houve o levantamento do sigilo de 15 (quinze) procedimentos, o que não corresponde a totalidade dos procedimentos contidos ou relacionados à PET 15.556, como poderá ser certificado pela Diretoria de TI. A seletividade, entretanto, foi ainda maior, pois nesses 15 (quinze) procedimentos contidos ou relacionados à PET 15.556 o sigilo levantado foi parcial, excluindo 180 (cento e oitenta) documentos e, consequentemente, dificultando a análise probatória, conforme se verifica na tabela seguinte:".
